Two weeks ago, on Thursday April 26, my friend (who wishes to remain
anonymous as he doesn't want to alarm his young children) was running
on the Mad River Rec. Path when he was nearly hit with a bullet. The
incident occurred at 5:20 p.m. several hundred yards from the parking
area on Tremblay Road.

The police were notified immediately but disappointingly have had no
response. The purpose of this letter is as a request to all to please
keep in mind that this path is a community recreation area and is used
by many Valley residents. In the future, anyone using a firearm in the
vicinity (whether hunting or practicing) needs to be aware of the
potential risk to pedestrians.
